You Made It Weird #10: Alec Sulkin

Share:

Fans of Family Guy and people curious about television writing, hilarious tweets and the usual weirdnesses of YMIW are in for a treat: Alec Sulkin is a writer for FG, a huge, hilarious twitter monster and a wonderful guest to delve into sex, God and comedy with. It’s definitely crispy. Like, for real.

I had to give up after 20 minutes. It’s really good if you want to hear Pete Holmes talk about himself, ask Alec for careers advice and plug his own material.
Personally I wanted to hear Alec but that was difficult because the few times he can get a word in edgewise Pete talks or laughs over him.

Pete, I love your podcast. You get some amazing guests, have some interesting conversations, and put forth compelling theories about life & comedy.

You occasionally lament the fact you tell the same stories & anecdotes from podcast to podcast. It is with love that I humbly point out that your most often asked question is along the lines of “Do you feel that way too?” (usually asked after you’ve fully delivered your own theories on the topic).

I sincerely hope this comment doesn’t come across negatively. It’s just that while listening I repeatedly wanted to tell you, “Relax, Pete. Let Alec lead the conversation from time to time.”

I only started listening to this podcast because of the guests. No disrespect to Pete, but all i knew about him was his comments on VH1 and I never found him that funny. He’s grown on me, but he needs to stop laughing so much and stop with that annoying AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH everytime the guest says something funny. It almost makes the show unlistenable. Luckily he’s been pulling some great guests that keep bringing me back. So, Pete, don’t laugh and scream so much and the show will be 100 times better.

You are 100% new to me and it has been fascinating listening to your conversations. Pretty fun stuff so far. You are a thoughtful talker, it comes through in your voice. Keep having fun and thanks for the entertainment.
